The Josephs problem is notoriously known. For those who are not familiar with the problem, among n people numbered 1, 2, . . . , n, standing in circle every mth is going to be executed and only the life of the last remaining person will be saved. Joseph was smart enough to choose the position of the last remaining person, thus saving his life to give the message about the incident.
The persons are eliminated in a very peculiar order; m is a dynamical variable, which each time takes a different value corresponding to the Fibonacci numbers succession (1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144 ...). So in order to kill the i-th person, Josephus counts up to the i-th Fibonacci number.
For example, there are 6 people in a circle, and the sequence of counting is Fibonacci number succession (1, 1, 2, 3, 5 …).
In the beginning, the step to kill m = 1. The sequence of killing people is as follows.
1.............................(kill 1, and m is changed to 1)
2.............................(kill 2, and m is changed to 2)
3, 4.........................(kill 4 ,and m is changed to 3)
5, 6, 3.....................(kill 3 ,and m is changed to 5)
5, 6, 5, 6, 5.............(kill 5)
Then print 6 as answer.
Let’s solve this problem using C++. You have been provided with the following class definitions:
class Node
{
friend class Josephus;
public:
Node():next( NULL ){
}
Node( const int &info ) //constructor
:number( info ), next( NULL )
{
} //end ListNode constructor
private:
Node *next;
int number;
};//end class Node
class Josephus
{
public:
Josephus();
~Josephus();
Josephus(const int &);
int kill(); // return the survival’s position
private:
void generatecircularlinkedList(const int &); // generate circular linked-list
void generateFib(const int &); // generate a Fibonacci sequence table
int sequence[50]; // store Fibonacci number
int noOfPeople;
Node *head;
};
REQUIREMENTS:
In this practice, you are asked to implement the following member functions:
Josephus class:
Note:
1.This problem involves three files.
You will be provided with main.cpp and function.h, and asked to implement function.cpp.
function.h
main.cpp
2.For OJ submission:
Step 1. Submit only your function.cpp into the submission block.
Step 2. Check the results and debug your program if necessary.
Each line contains a number n<=45, which is the number of people. Input is terminated by EOF.
The output will consist in separate lines containing the position of the person which life will be saved.
